I spent the last week working on something I wanted to try in Flash Lite. The result is a prototype for a virtual pet that will run on any Flash Lite enabled mobile phone.
I’ve created a very quick (and pretty rubbish) mini-site where you can download the app, play an online emulated version and find out how to care for your creature. I still need to tweak the logic so that it is actually fun and addictive to play, but still, this is just a test app.
Visit the mini-site here.
Future:
There are a few things I want to add to the Wild for a future version, I’m looking at distribution to a Japanese market, if anyone is interested please contact me. Anyway, future features:
- Ability to fight other creatures from the Wild (user tables etc), pokemon style
- Customisable creatures (heads, bodies, tails etc)
- Downloadable and selectable backgrounds/rooms
- Premium additions, new creatures/games etc
- Online creches / extra games via desktop / forums etc
I also wanted to take this opportunity to point you towards a new edition to the Flash Lite Exchange. LiteAsAGoog is a Flash Lite FullAsAGoog client created by Paul Wilson who runs the Flash Lite mailing list. I also want to thank Paul for his testing of The Wild last night, it helped me to realise what needs doing (a help page for example!).
Remember to drop by the Flash Mobile Community from time to time, things are going to get busy. We have over 150 members now, just waiting on people using Flash Lite more and more as the handsets become mainstream and we should have some fun going on in there.
